GLS* is committed to responsible growth, guided by Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles. These principles drive our efforts to reduce our environmental impact, support our workforce and communities and uphold transparency and ethical governance across our entire supply chain. We focus on the reduction of carbon emissions, creating an inclusive workplace and supporting local initiatives that make a tangible difference.
As a road-based transport service, we recognise the significant impact our operations can have on the environment and on the communities we operate in. We want to continue our mission in connecting people around the world whilst protecting the environment for future generations.
